Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping) is a revolutionary therapeutic practice based on ancient Chinese acupuncture. Our bodies have electricity (energy) running through them continuously. You can think of the energy channels as a fiber-optic network through your body. When we experience pain, tension, stress and trauma this creates a disruption or block in the flow of our energy.
EFT can empower you with your health and well-being. During the session, you will also gain a tool that you can use to support your emotional and physical well-being into the future.
Rapid and long-lasting change
During EFT tapping, you will be guided to lightly tap, with your fingertips, on specific acupressure points, whilst targeting a specific issue. As you focus on the issue and balance your energy system, we will resolve the disruption in your body’s energy system. It is as simple and marvellous as that!
In a double-blind study undertaken by Dawson Church, PhD, tapping was shown to produce a 24% drop, on average, in cortisol levels (stress hormone) after just 60 minutes of tapping. During that same hour of talking therapy, participants showed a much smaller drop in cortisol levels.
In the US, EFT is authorised as a treatment for war veterans with PTSD, and it has demonstrated benefits for a range of emotional difficulties. Because of the relationship between stress and our bodies, physical symptoms often improve too.
